I'm not sure if this is supported, I can't seem to get much help from AT&T, but I purchased an unlocked Note 10+ from Samsung. I do not have WiFi Calling which is a crucial feature since my office has terrible reception and I use the phone for work.
Is this something I should be able to get working with help from my carrier or is this ROM/build specific? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Along with one or two pros, I found this to be one of the cons in using an unlocked phone with Verizon a couple of years ago, along with no notifications. I spent countless hours over several days on the phone with Samsung and Verizon before finding out this was a known (by Samsung) issue. I returned mine and got the Verizon branded one. Things may have changed since then, but it cured me of the unlocked version, especially since contracts have fallen by the wayside. If they can't resolve the WiFi calling, Samsung should allow you to return it. I hope someone else has a solution for you.

I Tried flashing the AT&T firmware N975U1UEU1ASH4 from Sammobile and sill no wifi calling.
I am in the same boat. Just out of curiosity what does the service provider SW ver. look like? Mine shows ATT/ATT/XAA
Still no wifi calling or carrier specific options...it's kind of strange that these phones provision the features when you put a sim card in.
I called both At&t and Samsung who were equally less than helpful.
I am looking back to some of the S8+ forums about CSC swapping because I feel like that might be a starting place...

You downloaded N975U1 unlocked rom, it was still rom for unlocked note 10 not AT&T or variant note 10. If you want full AT&T features like wifi calling, video calling..you should download and odin this firmware N975USQU1ASH4 which is AT&T Variant N975U. I am still on unlocked Galaxy note 9 N960U1 and I odin Verizon note 9 SM-N960U on my unlocked Galaxy note 9. The ROM works with every carrier anyway.

Okay , I got my WIFI calling . This is the correct one to download and flash......... DO NOT Download the one that says AT&T it's going to just flash the same N975U1. Good luck:good:
I'm thinking about doing this. Will flashing the at&t firmware wipe the phone? Articles I've read says it doesn't. Is that correct?

Also can someone confirm the correct at&t firmware for the Note 10? Also use the USA(USC) version?

Thank you! I was able to successfully flash with this ROM and now have the AT&T features I was missing!
What about for the regular Note 10? Is it N970USQU1ASH4 for the unlocked AT&T version?
I just flashed the regular Note 10. Still no wifi calling. In the Service Provider SW ver, it says ATT/ATT/XAA so I believe I've flashed the ATT firmware?
Baseband version
N970UIUEUIASH4
Service provider SW ver.
SAOMC SM-N970UI_OYM_ATT_PP_0030
R58M81758ZM
ATT/ATT/XAA
I just flashed to N970USQU1ASH4, and got the AT&T bloat and wifi calling, but theres no cellular service anymore. I tried flashing back, but now am getting a model mismatch error. I dont know what to do anymore.

I flashed N970USQU1ASH4_N970UOYN1ASH4_USC from sammobile.com
Hmm I did the same thing. I flashed both the att and usc firmwares. Odin said pass but I didn't see any difference. I used the home_csc file though. I didn't want to wipe my phone before knowing whether I used the right firmware.
I have an N970u1 but flashed it to the u version. Is that what you did?
Well my model number still says U1. So does that mean that me flashing both the USC and ATT firmwares did nothing?

Reading another thread, did you first boot up with an att sim card before flashing? I believe you have to do that first.
Ota updates
Will the OTA updates work after flashing the att stuff? I know theres a new firmware but the phone is saying it's up to date.
I'm having a problem with this too. I flashed the USC version and got the ATT Bloat, but when I try to enable wifi calling I get "Oops! Wi-Fi Calling can't be turned on right now. Please call 611 or 800-901-9878 for assistance. (APP0008) Can anyone help?
Is it possible they are locking Wifi calling based on IEMI?

Hmm not sure about the theme store but you don't need to use an international rom. You can use a Sprint rom. Although all Note 5's are essentially the same (there might be some variants with differences), the kernel might be different for each. I would stick with the Sprint rom. Maybe try some of the roms posted in the development section to see if the theme store would work on those roms.

nope. i have flashed "sprint" custom rom!
Thing about sprint is...it has its own network. So unlocking it is not the same as tmobile and other networks. Example 1, sprint unlocked only works on sprinit network and other networks by sprint. Example 2, any other company, tmobile, verizion, unlocked can work with a different sim card, internationally. If you put a different sim card in the sprint phone it wont work for some reason, but any nonesprint phone it does if unlocked
This is not true. The N920P can be unlocked and used on domestic GSM carriers. I'm currently using the N920P on straight talk (ATT) with LTE on stock/rooted rom.

How you did it?
I used idoneapps for the unlock (works great, kudos to those guys) .You will have to make NV changes for LTE (directions are on this site). You also need two APN's (one with LTE as bearer). Network Mode needs to be GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Handcent with manual APN for MMS keeps from having to reboot nearly everytime you receive an MMS as well.

Hi fellas, so i got a Metro Pcs GS7, but i'm kind of obsessive and it bothers me a lot having a device not meant for my carrier (T-Mobile), tried to flash T-Mobile G930T Firmware via odin, but it gave me an error at the end, so i flashed back G930T1 flash, any suggestions?

Except that the locked bootloader on both carriers devices may cause a issue if you Odin one or the other .Its worth a try all it will do is fail if not .But i did this on metro s5 s4 and s6

It should work with no problems. I had a Sprint S7 and flashed T-mobile firmware to use on TMO and its been working great. All the US S7's are pretty much all the same except for the firmwares. So they should be fine.
Yes you can ... i have done couple with no issue make sure to check your download it might be bad ...

If possible enabling VoLTE and WiFi Calling.

Make sure your CSC is compatible with the 'model' ROM you have on the phone, and not necessarily the stock hardware 'model' of the phone.

VoLTE and Wifi calling show up as Blue (available-enabled), though I have never tried to use either. I live in an area where internet service is about 4-5 mbs, and cell service just gets to a few, 3G bars. In town the data is 4G and great, though I always just call directly.

On an international phone I think you can flash CSC without triggering Knox . . . ?
I found XAA/XAA works great. I have tried out the XAA/AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint CSC's, within the main XAA, but AT&T, et al comes with bloatware the respective boot logos. I have a Note 8 custom ROM, so I have to use a CSC for a Note 8 phone.
Using the XAA/XAA unbranded carrier, no bloatware, and all GSM phones, 7's and 8's, have worked just fine.

I would be very careful in attempting to load another regions firmware on your Canadian variant. There have be some users who have reported ending up with a bricked device attempting this sort of update. While you can find stock Odin files for our devices, it's still on the v1 bootloader.

Let me know if you successfully flash on your device then I'll do it as I'm from Bell mobility
I got the downloads to go through. Will report once flashing is complete. Not sure which firmware will be on the phone when it arrives (att variant) but I'm gonna be flashing u1 then newest rc6 TMobile firmware. Hoping to have full features working as if originally a TMobile variant.
On a side note (mods please excuse) but Samsung. Com has the att variant on sale $639 ($200 off) and since I'm trading in my old s7 I'm getting an additional $200 off so $439 ($466 after tax) for a brand new s9+! Once i flash the TMobile firmware I'll be happy and for $400 off!
Anyone know if i need to sim unlock before flashing this? I've read about having to flash the unlocked rom before flashing the T-Mobile Rom and that's my other question. Can i just flash this tmobile firmware to the phone fresh out of the box or do i need to go to unlocked first (doesn't seem right) and put my TMobile sim in and be good?
My thoughts were that i could just sim unlock thorough a 3rd party then Odin the TMobile firmware and be done. Thanks

You have to unlock your device first, before flashing any other firmware besides your carrier firmware. Flashing unlock firmware, will not unlock your device.

SIM unlock has nothing to do with firmware/rom flashing. You can flash to any U/U1 firmware you want and your device will still be in the same carrier lock/unlock state it was before.
T-Mobile does do things a little differently, however. Flashing a different firmware won't SIM unlock your phone, but I do believe you need to be on a legitimate T-Mobile firmware to unlock the device via their built in unlocking app.
Awesome thanks guys. Will just get a 3rd party unlock service then flash.
If you got it from [email protected] they will unlock it free of charge. And if you didn't I would still try with them first before paying
Will use it to update my converted s9 plus from att to tmobile firmware.
I tried to search for updates in the menu but it says phone is already up to date. But version is RBG.
Latest one is ARC6

Did either of you do it yet? I'm in the same boat, just got my AT&T that I want to use on T-Mobile. I'm debating if I should flash unlocked or T-Mobile, and now the option of this new bootloader?

Im just waiting for Rogers in Canada to push out their latest update, which they say is now available, and its not. I want to see if they have updated from U1 to U2 before taking the plunge with this firmware.
What's the benefit to having T-Mobile f/w over unlocked? Or what's better about having unlocked? I'll be using it only on T-Mobile.
I've looked through threads of people doing the reverse of this. It's been a few years since I've had an android and was running nexus devices then. What's the process to flash an unlocked firmware on an AT&T locked 968U to the 968U1 firmware (assuming there aren't issues doing it)?
Are there any other pitfalls I need to be aware of prior to doing it other than the wifi calling?
If this is already posted somewhere else, please feel free to point me there. I didn't see any info about going from a carrier locked 968U to unlocked firmware.
Thanks in advance.

I have done this and I lost WIFI calling and VOLTE. I'm very happy with it so far.

I just did this today went from TMB locked one to unlocked (For a family member) mine is unlocked. All went well no problems at all. Just download the U1 Firmware you want to flash and for CSC use home_csc (In ODin) so you can keep your data and probably the wifi calling feature too ( i did that all features are intact). Use the Odin and firmware from Ota and non Ota thread . Enjoy

What did you gain that made it worth it for you? Also, I'm on a Locked ATT/Firstnet Ultra and am wondering if flashing to an Unlocked Firmware would give me more control of my device.

If your on FirstNet I recommend that you stay on ATT branded software, I'm not sure if band 14 will work properly for you if you are on unlocked software. Thank you for your service!

You can get VoLTE back, but yeah, WiFi calling is not gonna happen.

The thread is for T-Mobile, but most of it works with AT&T devices as well.

I flashed the U1 firmware (ATJ3) onto my AT&T Note Ultra, then flashed the Home CSC from the AT&T U firmware. I have VoLTE and WiFi calling.
Help!
Hello all, I have a Note 20 Ultra 5g that is unlocked and I'm looking to flash the original ATT firmware for this device.
Having this unlocked version on Firstnet has been nothing but problems and I don't have access to band 14 or wifi calling.
I see this thread is a little old but if anyone could help me out or send me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!
I have rooted some of my older phones several several years ago so I think I could pick this back up pretty quickly. I know over the years things seem to get easier and have probably changed quite a bit since I've last done something like this.
Thanks in advance!

My comment was made before we were able to change IMS settings directly.
You can get it all now. VoLTE, WiFI Calling, RCS, Video calling...

AT&T hasn't released any "official" firmware for the Note 20 series.
Since Samsung firmware is multi CSC, just flash any firmware with the same build number as the AT&T variant and use your AT&T SIM card.
Go to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ota-and-non-ota-firmware-for-n986u-and-n986u1.4143833/
Make sure you know what device you have, U or U1. Then grab the appropriate version.
Fir AT&T U devices, N986USQU2DUCA or N986USQU2DUCA will work.
For AT&T U1 devices, N986U1UEU2DUCB is the most recent version.
